So so true.
I hope we're not heading for 1983 all over again.
If there's no XR8, technically that's where we are heading. (Not including FPV).
Ford were on top back then in 82/83 and right through the 80s and early 90s. They became arrogant and thought they could get away with no V8. In the short term yes, but there is something just as important as actual sales. And that is IMAGE. But the average family is not buying Falcons anymore so it may not be relevant. (Or is what happened almost 30 years ago now having an impact??).
